Hey guys,
Last year I purchased a smaller PC for my dad, as his old Dell one was slow etc... I told him his new one would be faster, but kinda disappointed in myself now, as this new one isn't much faster.
So now to my question for you... his new PC is similar to the LENOVO Q190, I don't think it's identical, due to it has a 900GB drive, according to his Windows 8, but he does have an i3 in it. No further information at this time, as I didn't look.
My question for you are:
1. Can/would an SSD make a difference in such a PC?
2. Since it's a "complete" PC, made by a PC company, obviously the warranty will go away... but is it possible to open it up, take the HDD out, put the SSD in, and then do a fresh install of Windows 8, just as you would with a finished build?.
As the PC already has Windows 8 on it, so obviously a valid key and I also have an Windows 8 CD, as I have Windows 8 on my PC.
Is this possible and would it make the PC faster you think?...
As you can probably understand, I feel bad for telling my dad it would be faster and then it ain't
...
Thanks guys,
Chrazey
